ingredients
- 1 whole english cucumber
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 1/2 teaspoon peeled and grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
Method
Step 1
Begin by slicing the cucumbers into thin slices with a knife or a mandoline. I like using a mandoline because they will all be exactly the same size in width. Recommended: Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of salt over cucumbers and place in colander over the sink for 20 minutes to allow the water to draw out.
Step 2
Make the Spicy Sauce: In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, garlic and ginger. Whisk together.
Step 3
Add the cucumbers over the sauce and toss.
Step 4
Top with sesame seeds if desired and drizzle sriracha mayo over the top of the salad. If you want to make your own like I did, add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 2 teaspoons of sriracha. It does pack some heat.
Step 5
Enjoy!
